| Which HT reveiver to replace Nak av-10? Depending on how much power/wattage you need, NAD and Marantz are two excellent choices for under $1K. You'll get more output wattage/dollar from Marantz A-V receivers than you will from NAD. I went with the Marantz SR5600 in June 2006 and I'm ver... | |
| to CD / DVD or not to CD / DVD Good topic. This has been discussed before not long ago and I submitted what I thought was fair and informed feedback. It's not that you can't obtain good universal disc players with decent audio. The believe however among the philes is that a com... | |
| Just Curious...... Several of these manufacturers from the earlier days of hi-fi (who were regarded as high end then) have gone in different directions. Look at Nakamichi, Kenwood, Sansui, as examples. They're all still in business but have pulled away from the high... | |
| B&W DM602 S3 or Paradigm Reference Studio 20?? FYI, the B&W 600 S3 series are no longer being manufactured new. They've been replaced with 4 new 600 series loudspeakers (686, 685, 684, & 683). If you go with 602's, you would have to either get them from existing stock at a hi-fi store ... | |
| any one hear the new b w 683 yet? I went today (9/14/07) and auditioned most of them (not the 684 2-1/2 way). With all respect, I wouldn't consider the 600 series entry-level but I guess that's a matter of opinion. Perhaps their 300 series is. Anyway, the 686 replaces the 600, the... | |
| any one hear the new b w 683 yet? I'm planning to visit my dealer this Fri (9/14) in NJ to purchase a Marantz DVD player. While there, I'm going to ask for a demo of the new 600 series unless they're too busy. I'll reply to you when I return. I came close to buying two new 604's b... | |
| DVD recorders Thanks for the feedback. What I'm trying to do is evalute a DVD recorder that also plays music from live concerts better than average. I'm looking for the best of both worlds, recorder PLUS higher end audio performance. Thanks again. | |
| Rotel vs NAD vs Marantz Thanks everyone. Great replies. I appreciate the candor and input. | |
| This getting ridiculous / a third Hi Def format I completely agree. Too many formats just end up confusing the consumer. Many will probably resist buying new players wondering what's next and should they wait. Keep it simple. But this is not unlike so many other products out there with a pletho... | |

| new DVD player priorities Thanks everyone. I'll stick with my conventional unit for now but you cleared it all up for me. Appreciate your time and knowledge. Video is just not my strength vs audio. | |
| new DVD player priorities Many thanks to Newbie13 for his in-depth explanation. Thanks for taking the time on this. So if you own a Blu-ray player and rent an HD DVD, will it not be compatible and not work or vice-versa? I'm still a little confused. Sounds like the future ... | |
| Need Sub and AVR advice for B&W CM1 Just a word of advice on B&W subs at least from my first hand experience. I'm on my 2nd ASW600 (the first one had to be returned due to a warranty issue). Both times, I found the screws holding the driver to be loose, every one. As a result, t... | |
| Best Speakers for 2channel Music Riley804 is exactly correct. Great advice. So much depends on room size and room content. But assuming the room is moderate in size, you have many many choices. If you're wanting to purchase only brand new speakers, recommendations include NHT, PS... | |
| Beatles Music Rlwainwright:That link you typed in above does not work. I tried it several times. All I get is "this page can not be displayed". I then went to www.demonoid.com to try and access it that way and my PC went crazy typical of when a virus hits. I im... |
